Although Wutan was extremely shocked and disgusted in his heart, there was no change in his expression. It was exactly the same as when Xing An faced the Second Elder every day.
"There must not be any abnormality!"
Wutan warned himself in his heart that if the Second Elder saw something, all the preparations and efforts he had made in the past few days would be in vain.
There is no doubt that the missing rejuvenation grass is also in the hands of the second elder.
The nails on the dry and pale hands were five inches long, like sharp blades, flashing an astonishingly cold light under the candlelight.
Especially those eyes that were staring at the rejuvenating grass with a green glow, and that wrinkled old face that was twitching with excitement. When people saw it, they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of shock and fear in their hearts!
"Yes, it really is the Rejuvenating Herb."
After a while, the second elder finally calmed down her inner excitement and looked at Wutan with admiration, but the next moment her face darkened and a voice like a night owl came out of her mouth.
"Rejuvenation Grass is a supreme medicine, priceless. How could you have enough essence to bid for it and successfully get it?"
"What a suspicious old witch," Wutan cursed in his heart, but before coming here, he had already considered all this, so he had already thought of ways to deal with it.
Wutan looked as if he was extremely frightened. He lowered his head and said, "An'er is also very surprised. When I went to Wanbao Pavilion before, there were always crowds of people there. But when I went there today, I found that there were only some ordinary lone travelers inside, and none of the people from the big sects showed up. That's why I was able to buy the Rejuvenation Grass at the lowest price."
"Really?" The second elder looked at him doubtfully, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. Wutan suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and his body and mind felt cold.
"An'er dare not lie," Wutan lowered his head even lower, his body trembling slightly, giving people the feeling that he was extremely frightened.
"I think it may be because those who go against the will of heaven have no heaven!" Squinting his eyes and pondering for a while, the second elder suddenly realized.
The second elder guessed that people from other sects must have gone to Xihuzhou to hunt down Wutan, the rebellious man, which was why this useless nephew got such a great advantage.
Apart from this explanation, she really couldn't find any other reason.
As for her nephew, no one knew him better than her. He was always timid and would never dare to lie in front of her.
"Aunt, why is it related to those who go against the will of heaven?" Wu Tian asked in surprise.
"With your current strength, it's better for you not to know some things."
The second elder looked at Wutan with disgust, no, it should be Xing An, and sighed in his heart. Although this nephew was not a good person, his filial piety and loyalty to him were beyond words. No matter what, they were all family after all, and he still had to take care of him.
After thinking about it, her expression softened a lot, but her tone was still a little cold: "Tell me, what do you want? As long as it's not too excessive, I will agree to it."
"This is purely An'er's filial piety, I would never dare to covet anything else," Wu Tian said fearfully.
"Stop talking nonsense and just say what I tell you to say," the second elder frowned and said impatiently.
"Since Auntie has said so, to be honest, An'er really wants to go somewhere."
Wutan paused and continued: "An'er feels that he is about to break through these days, but he also feels a little powerless, so he wants to go to the forbidden area to retreat for a while to see if he can break through successfully."
"You finally realize that you want to work hard at cultivation? That's really rare. Well, as long as you don't mess around in the forbidden area, it's fine to go and cultivate. Here's the Sect Master's Order. Take it. Remember to return it to me when you get out."
To Wutan's surprise, the second elder agreed to his request without any hesitation.
After receiving the sect leader's order, Wutan was flattered and thanked hurriedly: "Thank you, auntie, An'er will definitely not let you down."
"Go ahead," the second elder waved his hand impatiently.
"An'er, take your leave!"
Wutan bowed, with intense excitement and excitement on his face, turned around and walked down the stairs, quickly blending into the darkness.
"If this useless bastard had been able to concentrate on his training before, he might not be as incompetent as he is today."
Looking at the figure that gradually merged into the darkness, a smile actually emerged on the face of the Second Elder. He then shook his head, turned around and walked into the hall. With a wave of his hand, the hall door closed tightly with a bang.
And at this moment, all the emotions on Wutan's face in the darkness suddenly disappeared, replaced by a coldness. He smiled coldly, looked in a direction, and rushed out with a whoosh!
The forbidden area is located in the deepest part of the Forbidden Sect, only a thousand miles away from the Sect Master's Hall. A distance of a thousand miles may seem very far, but in fact, for a strong man like the Sect Master of the Forbidden Sect, it is only a blink of an eye away.
In fact, this arrangement is intended to prevent someone from having evil intentions and trying to seize the forbidden stone mines, so that the sect leader has time to stop them.
"Hey! That's..."
Suddenly, Wutan, who was running fast, stopped and looked in surprise. When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
I saw an elegant attic a thousand feet ahead, and under one of the windows of the attic, a figure was lurking stealthily. This figure was very familiar, it was Wutan’s old acquaintance, Gou Yaolong.
"Damn, no way, does Gou Yaolong really have this hobby?" The little guy who had been hiding in Wutan's arms poked his head out and immediately asked in surprise.
"It seems that he really has this hobby," Wutan's face twitched.
All this happened because of the person in the attic. It was a woman who was bathing and changing clothes. And judging from the vague outline, the woman should be pretty.
Gou Yaolong hid outside the window, watching intently.
The position where he was standing was also quite good. Behind him there was an old tree with lush branches and leaves, which blocked all the moonlight and cast a large dark reflection. If you didn't look carefully, you would never realize that there was a person hiding here.
"Last time at the Jueyin Ruins, I thought he was just joking, but I didn't expect this kid to really have this hobby. No, I have to record it and find a chance to make a profit from him in the future."
The little fellow chuckled and actually took out Wujitian's All Things Order and recorded everything in it.
Gou Yaolong, who was drooling and daydreaming, did not notice that there was someone behind him, who was recording all his shameless actions as a handle to blackmail him.
"How about we go and tease him?" The little guy was not satisfied yet and wanted to go up and ruin Gou Yaolong's good deeds.
For example, if you throw something smaller than a stone and alarm the woman in the attic, there will definitely be a good show of a strong woman chasing a pervert.
"Haven't you heard of the idiom 'Don't destroy a cheap man'?" Wu Tian rolled his eyes at it and said, "Our most important thing now is to plunder the forbidden stone mine and the treasure house where the forbidden stone is hidden. Nothing else matters. Let's go!"
"It's good not to demolish a mean person, but Gou Yaolong is too mean, we have to demolish it!" the little guy retorted.
"Don't just talk about him, in fact, you are even more despicable than him." Wutan gave it a slap on the face and dragged the little guy who refused to leave and quickly rushed towards the forbidden area.
